7 Application filed December To allwhomitmay concern:

Be it known that I, l-lLRMAND Henson, a citizen of France, residing at Meudon, Seine and Oise, in France, Europe, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Walking Chairs for Children; and I hereby declare that the following is a true, clear, and exact description of the same.

The present invention relates to an improved walking chair for children, which will be hereinafter fully described and is illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Inthe drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the invention in combination with a collapsible table.

Figure 2 is a bottom view of the table and chair folded.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.

Referring to the drawing, 1 is a square block, on each side of which is pivotally secured a standard or leg 2, and 8 are rods having hooks 4 at one end and adapted to engage eyelets 5 to rigidly secure said standards together.

On said square block 1 is pivotally connected a turn table 6, and 7 is a member or arm preferably pivotally secured at its in ner end at 8 to the table by means of the thumb screw 9, so that it maybe moved alternatively from an inoperative position in I which it is disposed entirely within the confines of the table, to an operative position in which its outer portion projects outwardly beyond the table, and vice versa. The said member 7 is provided with a hole 9, and 10 is a seat secured below said-hole 9 by means of inverted U-shaped member 11. At the outer or free end of said member 7- is pivotally secured the extensible post 12, and 13 is a roller on the lower end of said post; the post being movable between a vertical position in which its roller engages the floor, and one in which it is folded or collapsed against or close to the under side of the table.

In the operation ofthe invention, a child is placed in said hole 9 seated astride on the seat 10. His legs will naturally rest on the floor and by moving them he will revolve the turn table 6 and will in turn revolve therewith.

As illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings, the invention can readily be folded to take very little space when not in use.

What I claimas my invention is p .1. Ababy, walker, comprising a station ary support; a turntable rotatably mounted on the top thereof; an arm pivoted at its inner end to the'under side of the turntable for movement alternatively into a position in which it projects outwardly beyond the table at its outer end, or into one in which it is disposed against the said underside of the table and wholly within the confines thereof, and adapted to be releasably secured in either position, the projecting portion of said arm having an opening for the inser tion of ababy therethrough; and a support ing seat for the baby to sit on suspended from said arm and disposed directly below said opening.

3. A collapsible baby walker, comprising a turntable; a block whereon said table is rotatably mounted; a plurality of support ing legs pivotally connected at their upper ends to said block for movement alternatively into floor-engaging position or into collapsed position against the under side of the table; detachable brace connections between the several legs; an arm pivotally connected at its inner end to the table for movement alternatively into a position in which it projects outwardly beyond the table at its outer end or into one in which it is. disposed entirely within the confines of the table, and adapted to be releasably secured in either position; and a supporting seat carried by the projecting outer portion of said arm.

4. A collapsible baby walker, comprising a turntable; a block whereon said table is rotatably mounted; a plurality of support ing legs pivotally connected at their upper ends to said block for movement alternatively into floor-engaging position or into collapsed position against the under side of the table; detachable brace connections between the several legs; an arm pivotally connected at-itsinner end tozthe table for. move ment alternatively into a positionin which it projects outwardly beyond the table at its outer end or into one in which it is disposed entirely within the confines of the table, said arm adapted-to be releasably secured in either position and having an opening formed adjacent" its outer end for the insertion of a baby therethrough; a supmamas porting seat for the baby carried by said arm and disposed directly below said opening; and a post pivoted to the outer end of said arm for movement alternatively into floor-engaging position or into collapsed position against the under side of the table.
